This award, in recognition of Marcia’s notable career and accomplishments as a pioneer in the alternatives industry, was presented at the With Intelligence Women’s Private Credit Summit in Chicago on June 12th.

Marcia co-founded Värde Partners in 1993, overseeing the firm’s growth from a Midwest start-up to a leading global alternative investment firm. She served as Co-CEO and Co-CIO from the firm’s founding until she transitioned to an Executive Chair role in 2016. Marcia is one of only a few female founders of a successful alternative asset manager that now has a 30-year track record.
